gapertimmy Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Not since Geraldo's uncovering of Al Capone's vault has such a ground breaking discovery occured. Back in september, WASHDOT employees noticed a man sit starting from a canoe onto the handholds at the UW arboretum. The man was rather suspicous and stood out because of his bright pink spandex and dangling ear rings. Upon furhter investigation, state employees found the secret entrance to what they suspected to be Trasks secret lair! Inside they found copious ammounts of hand chalk, stick clips and spent cans of beens and weenies. The inhabitant seemed to have an odd obssession with all types of feathered fowl. There were photos all over the place of various birds. But what was even more disturbing was the presence of many chickens cooped up inside small wooden pens. The chickens were visibly upset when state employees tried to approach them. Although the apparent chicken abuse is still under investigation, the officials still felt it was important to release the photos of this odd individuals hide out. Please take care when pulling on plastic in this area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I'm intrigued . . . do you have a source for the pics and perhaps the story? I don't recall reading about this last year. Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone_Shoes Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 This is consistent with his catch phrase "chicken F'r" Now we know who we're dealing with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapertimmy Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 The pics came from my friend that works at Wash DOT. They are from this fall, the camera just has a jacked up date. Apparently, homeboy climbs up the handholds, and has a roller system, a little cart setup on the underside girders of the overpass (which is abandoned/never has been used) it amazes me how the person buit such a bungalo, and the contents were amazing, he had a fricking couch in there!

Jonathan Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Wow. Makes you wonder how many other little nests are out there. For you history geeks out there, these ramps to nowhere were constructed in the late 60s for the R.H. Thomson Expressway. The proposed right-of-way was to run south through the Arboretum and then into the Rainier Valley and onto Renton, and north into Lake City. Killed by voters in '72, I believe, along with several other freeway projects, including a cross-north end expressway, running from Ballard to Laurelhurst roughly at 50th St. As a transportation side note, it was also in 1972 that Seattlites also rejected--for the second time in four years--90% federal funding for an extensive urban light rail system. Perhaps timely in the light of tomorrow's vote. And, BTW, that's the same Thomson as in Mt. Thompson in the Snoqualmie Pass area. Reginald Heber Thomson (1856-1949) was a Seattle civil engineer. As Becky notes, he is not memorialized by a correct spelling of his name.
